"Brim we can't stay here forever!" Cirrus hissed at his mate, "Our kit needs protection!" Brim snapped her head around and her kit started mewling. "I've been searching and searching for a place to stay but I can't find somewhere! I care for our kit too she's not just yours!" Brim snapped. "Then maybe you should actually feed her!" Cirrus retorted. "I try! My milk has run dry and we're all starving!" She cried. "Fine but don't come crying to me when she's dead and gone!" Cirrus spun around and headed away. Brim broke into a cry as she scooped up her kit.
The kit was named Mallow, after Brim's mother. Brim hated the way Cirrus was, always going off somewhere. She doubted that he was searching for food or shelter. Probably caring for some other she-cat. She sobbed at the thought. Then he came back. "I.........I'm sorry Brim. When I get mad you know I blow my top.........can you forgive me?" Cirrus mewed sadly. Brim glared at him. "I've given you so many chances I just don't get it. Where are you always going off to!?" She sobbed. Cirrus thought on her words. "Fine come with me. I'll show you were I've been going off to.
Brim scooped up Mallow in her jaws and followed Cirrus. They stopped at an alley in the city. It smelled like crow food and dirt. Mallow sneezed and wrinkled her nose. Brim scowled at the smell, "What is that smell!?" She complained. Cirrus took a deep breath, "That my love, is the smell of freedom!" Brim hissed. "Then freedom stinks!" She said wrinkling her nose. Cirrus rolled his eyes and flicked his tail signaling for them to follow.
As they walked down the alley Brim spotted wandering eyes. They stopped at an opening that led into a big open space filled with cats with the same spiked collars Cirrus was wearing." What is this?" Brim gasped. "This.............Is Bloodclan." Cirrus smiled.
"W-What is Bloodclan?" Brim asked warily. Cirrus coughed. "Bloodclan is us." He said codly. A black cat with one white paw and a purple spiked collar jumped down from the top of a dumpster. He walked up to Cirrus and nodded. "So this is you family........" He circled them, "They are strong like you Cirrus. Your kit who make a fine warrior at best." He said. Brim shot up, " Who said we were staying!?" She hissed. Cirrus glared at her and she shut up. "Excuse Brim she's just a little mad that I didn't tell her about Bloodclan." He said eyeing her. "Well then......Cirrus we have fixed a nest for you. I send some of my warriors to get two collars also." He fixed his gaze on Brim, "What rank would you like? Also.......I have decided to appoint a medicine cat."
